The golden string of beads.

The golden string of beads will come to life eventually.













I'll make this story short and "antique". LOL. I purchased this container of a continuous string of beads more years ago than I can exactly remember. (at least 20) At that time, of course, I, as most crafters do, had great plans to cut the string of golden beads into various as needed lengths, and use them to embellish many wonderful handcrafted items. Well !!!













I found this container last week while looking through some long lost stacked up crafting boxes.

One point worth mentioning is that the store from where this item was purchased has long, long ago gone out of business. (but I still have THEIR beads and still maintain the strongest intention to use them in some gotta have hot new items)













Mind you, that my family would have long ago thrown them and much of my other crafting supplies out to the curb, were it not for my constant rebelling.













Moral of the story is: Never leave your noncrafting minded family in charge of your long lost crafting items; for one day for sure, you will find those long lost items and make NEW PLANS to bring them to life once again.
